The school board’s July meeting featured an uncharacteristically-heated debate about a new policy governing travel for professional development, and on Monday, chair Matt Rowe will propose scheduling “in the near future” a series of work sessions geared toward addressing a wider range of policies and procedures… The board will also discuss the potential for a division-wide organizational audit. The audit process, which could take longer than a year, would involve an outside entity examining FCPS’s organizational structure and operations… The board will also preview upcoming ribbon cuttings for the new Walker-Grant Middle School and renovated Gladys West Elementary School.
